This morning, we (the SSLT, Prefects, Year 10 Council, and School Council Reps for Year 10) received our badges in assembly. The whole Year Group was so proud of us!
Don't forget - the Prefects have a meeting on Wednesday at 12:55pm in N50.

We held our first Tutor Rep surgeries this morning @royaldocksacad
On the agenda: recycling/litter, rewards and prizes, and raising money for local charities. The Reps led the discussions and noted the ideas of our peers in preparation for the Year Council meetings this week. https://t.co/1kOjJ3WoLN

Today was Election Day @royaldocksacad
The pupils in each Tutor Group, from Year 7 to Year 10, were involved in voting for their Tutor Reps, after the candidates had given their impassioned campaign speeches last week and canvassed for votes. https://t.co/xaW1qhEFeO

“It was a real challenge for students as they had to create the menu and produce the food to a very high standard as this was their actual practical exam. They were aiming for professional delivery.”

The 19 students spent a day practising in the school’s professional kitchen before prepping the ingredients the day before the event.

Mrs Kitouni said: “Students had to learn about risk assessments, planning for unexpected diners and what to do in the case of a fire. That was before they started using anything in the kitchen, learning how to use knives, how to handle food and how to store food. As hosts, they also had to learn how to serve diners professionally.

“Events operations is very popular in our school. This event had an international theme and gave students an opportunity to promote food from all around the world. They researched the dishes and made everything from scratch.
